SUMMARY
Handsome 300SL in a very rare colour that's been with its current owner for 17 years.
DESCRIPTION
- Introduced in 1985, the 300SL was powered by the 2962cc M103.982, single-cam straight-six with KE-Jetronic injection offering 188bhp, 192lb.ft and 128mph
- This lovely example appears to be finished in Agate Green (815) with a matching hardtop
- Grey check cloth and MB-Tex interior needs minor repairs
- All-important bulkhead restoration and a recent paint refresh carried out by the SL Shop
- With our vendor for 17 years and garaged most of that time with fair weather use only
- Drives well and sounds fantastic with the upgraded stainless exhaust
- With 'Pagoda' 'prices now out of reach, the equally stylish R107SL is a very attractive option
